Add logic to override the anaconda summary hub glade file at live boot time. The custom glade file is stored in /usr/local/share/fws and copied to /usr/share/anaconda/ui/hubs/summary.glade during X initialization.
This workaround is necessary because mkarchiso applies the airootfs overlay before pacstrap, which prevents pacman from installing anaconda over existing files. The file is therefore delivered to /usr/local/share/fws and overlaid at boot when the live overlay is writable.
Change the estimated time message from '2 à 4 minutes' to 'Encore une à deux minutes' to provide more accurate timing information to users during the FWS installer preparation phase.
Add several improvements to the liveinst installer workflow:
- Expose archiso squashfs at /run/rootfsbase where Anaconda expects to find
the Live OS image, fixing SourceSetupError crashes
- Display immediate splash screen with zenity during Anaconda startup (2-4 min
wait time) to provide user feedback and prevent perceived hangs
- Wrap liveinst with dbus-run-session to provide D-Bus session bus, fixing
GLib.GError crashes from missing ScreenSaver service
- Add hardware summary log output to debug information collection
These changes address three crash scenarios identified during testing and
improve user experience during installer initialization.
- Add kernel copy step in %pre to ensure vmlinuz-linux is available for mkinitcpio
- Refactor xinitrc post-install log detection to use /tmp/fws-post-chroot.log copied by kickstart
- Add success detection based on mkinitcpio and grub-install log markers
- Display success screen and poweroff on successful installation, show debug logs on failure
- Add load_policy and setstatus stub scripts to suppress SELinux-related Anaconda warnings
- Force MBR partition table (--disklabel=msdos) for BIOS boot compatibility
- Create standard mkinitcpio preset to replace archiso-specific configuration
- Automatically inject lvm2 hook when root is on LVM
- Fix GRUB installation to properly extract disk path from lsblk output
- Downgrade version to 0.5.3 (development/testing release)
- Add fallback GRUB installation for UEFI systems using --removable flag to ensure boot without NVRAM entries
- Fix BIOS disk detection for LVM root partitions by using lsblk with proper filtering instead of pkname
- Enhance debug logging to include %post chroot phase logs (fws-post.log) which indicate bootloader success
- Automatically mount and retrieve installation logs from the installed disk to verify bootloader installation
- Add detailed comments explaining UEFI/BIOS fallback strategies and LVM-aware disk detection
These changes ensure the system can boot even when NVRAM entries are missing or forgotten by firmware, and provide better visibility into bootloader installation success during the debug phase.
Add locale configuration, systemd service for rootfs mounting, and customization script:
- Add locale.gen to generate en_US.UTF-8 locale required by Anaconda
- Add fws-rootfsbase.service to expose squashfs as /run/rootfsbase for Anaconda LiveOS payload detection
- Add customize_airootfs.sh to run locale-gen during image build
- Add python-iso639 0.1.4 PKGBUILD (local package with correct find() API)
- Add python-langtable 0.0.71 PKGBUILD (local package with list_common_languages())
- Remove python-iso639 and python-langtable from AUR packages due to version/API incompatibilities
- Update LOCAL_BUILD_ORDER to include new local packages
Add Anaconda installer integration to FWS live environment:
- Implement Anaconda launcher in .xinitrc with comprehensive error logging and debugging support
- Add anaconda and anaconda-widgets packages to baseline and releng ISO configs
- Fix anaconda-widgets PKGBUILD: replace gladeui with glib2-devel, disable Glade module
- Update anaconda PKGBUILD with improved dependencies and build configuration
- Add python-blivet PKGBUILD with detailed dependency documentation
Enhance documentation and branding:
- Expand AUTHORS.rst to clarify FWS vs archiso authorship and licensing
- Update CONTRIBUTING.rst with inbound=outbound licensing policy and DCO requirements
- Extend README.md with comprehensive legal basis table and licensing checklist
- Remove Arch Linux references from MOTD and update to FWS GitHub project page
- Fix fastfetch.sh to avoid read-only variable conflict in zsh
- Add xterm to packages for installer debugging
All changes maintain GPL-3.0-or-later compliance and improve GPL offer transparency.
